Yeah, there have been some interesting developments since my original statement. Turns out Shane Sweeney doesn't even get excited about pizza, he eats it begrudgingly. But, I have a hunch that Cody could make up for Shane's lack of pizza enthusiasm (pure speculation). Still the point is, Fern can only eat two slices max.

The Super Desserts’ new album is called Barefoot in the Disenchanted Forest, and it features song titles like “Still Unable to Speak...Claude Somehow Manages to Express His Opinion to a Pack of Wild Cougars, Who Are Surprisingly Supportive.”

The CD also comes in a colorfully decorated 7-inch sleeve accompanied by a handmade, photocopied booklet full of collages, animals, people with animals’ heads and some hilarious liner notes.

All of this should tell you this ambitious, eccentric band has a predilection for the fantastical, along with lots of twee cuteness—hand claps, ukulele, banjo, glockenspiel, etc.

Featuring Eve Searls (of Bird and Flower), Justin Riley (of Terribly Empty Pockets) and other local veterans and newbies, the band is only made stronger, rather than being weighed down, by the full roster of capable musicians. And while there’s a whole lot going on throughout the album, there are also moments of quiet, restrained beauty, like the guitar melody on “Steve Attends the Martian Funeral.…”

Super Desserts is not just a clever name. The band is super sweet, but not like those nasty orange peanut-shaped candies that leave you feeling sick to your stomach. More like awesome fair food that leaves you fat and happy.

Catch the Super Desserts at the Treehouse Feb. 7 with Two Cow Garage, Ghost Shirt and Tree of Fern.

Not to derail the thread, but since I will be rich by next Saturday (going to Vegas this weekend) I will graciously provide free hamburger and pizza rolls to all in attendance. We will swim in them. Save the date!

I just finished my montage and can kick anyone's ass in a pizza eating contest.
